Abstract
In this article we discuss how knowledge sharing that takes place between scientists working on complex Science and Technology projects is related to the knowledge sharing that takes place among actors of the innovation system. Governments’ role in constructing and managing National Innovation Systems and the role of effective knowledge sharing on S&T projects are emphasized. Leadership, support and clear vision by the government are essential for framework establishment and policy design facilitating effective interaction among research institutes, universities and firms which would enables knowledge sharing both on macro level, between innovation system actors , and on micro level, between scientists working on projects. Generating relevant knowledge flows, would help countries like Croatia, which are lagging behind in the innovation race, to establish knowledge based economies, consequently resulting in higher competitiveness and market success. Only through effective knowledge sharing both on micro and macro level can the optimal result be reached.
Highlights
It is a commonly adopted perspective among researchers that in today’s world the ability to innovate is a major factor of competitiveness, which is seen as a driver of the long – term economic development
This paper aims at investigating the role of Science and technology projects and more knowledge sharing between scientists in project teams in the development of Croatian National Innovation System
Managing S&T projects may be difficult due to special project characteristics, they serve as a worthy example of interaction and effective work as scientific research is based on the principles of openness and knowledge sharing
Summary
It is a commonly adopted perspective among researchers that in today’s world the ability to innovate is a major factor of competitiveness, which is seen as a driver of the long – term economic development. Building a Better National Innovation System through Effective Knowledge Sharing: A Case of Croatia measures, which provide a foundation for other actors to become innovation conscious and innovation oriented This strategic direction for achieving global competitiveness and economic prosperity is seen as a path for many countries not rich in natural resources. Through creation of policies that facilitate effective interaction among actors of an innovation system and relevant knowledge flows, transition countries will be able to establish knowledge based economies, resulting in higher competitiveness and market success. In the 1980s when the majority of the developed countries were constructing their National Innovation Systems and focusing on the integration of science, industrial and technology policies, Croatian government had hardly been planning or implementing such programs (Svarc, 2005). Our research provides an insight into the development of the National systems of Innovation in a transition country and sheds light on the role of knowledge sharing as an activity vital for innovation
